oh uh and depression, schizophrenia, and alcoholism all cause the pre-pulse inhibition system to malfunction; that is, the system that prevents an autonomic response several times in quick succession.
EG: you are more easily frightened by objects, you are more able to be frightened several times in quick succession, you are more likely to be frightened by something even if you are aware of it, and your reaction may be stronger, if you have had/are depressed, schizophrenic, or alcoholic.
:O! since you brought up some mental disease, can you tell me about Multiple personality disorder? some psychiatrist dont believe in it, but some do :/
It's not really my area of expertise, but Multiple Personality Disorder isn't really that well understood. I'd say it's less a 'multiple personality' and more a function of a schizoeffective illness or simply a surge of emotion colouring one's reactions.
Also, yeah. Mental health is not that specifically defined, or in as much detail as physical health. Until now people are still at disputes over the mind - science cannot fully understand it and even professional psychologists come to an err with their conclusions regarding people with mental disabilities or disorders. :P
